The following day, everyone was getting ready for the vigorous fans visiting the set. Early in the morning, fans were already anxiously waiting outside the set, stretched their necks to look inside the set, trying to find the familiar figure.\n
Although a day before Yu Bai reminded fans not to come early, which would cause trouble to the staff on the site, but the excited fans did not listen to him.
In the cold winter morning where a white mist could be formed from one's breath, a group of little girls wrapping in long jackets of the fan club's color, accompanying with thick scarves and gloves stood neatly at the entrance of the set; and all the little faces were cold and red, but still excited, a bright light flashing in their eyes.
Although they did not come in accordance with the time of the visiting hour as Yu Bai said, they stood at the door in an orderly manner, and prepared a beautiful little gifts for each actor and staff at the set, they kept on repeating "thank you for taking care of our Yu Bai", and "we've prepared this for you."
Before Yu Bai appeared, everyone on the set had a bowl of hot porridge, which was prepared earlier by the fans for the crew. It took several thermos boxes to bring them all to the set.
People who got hot porridge were all holding plastic bowls and looked for a place to sit and eat. The warm feeling spread from throat to stomach. Although it was not expensive, on a cold day like this, a hot porridge was undoubtedly the best gift.
Sheng Xing Ze habitually got up early, and he was now crouching not far from the group of fans, secretly searching for someone who fit the image of Wu Lu.
Unsurprisingly, there was a skinny boy standing at the back of the group, and was carrying a not so clean backpack. He was wearing a long jacket of a different color from others, which was particularly standing out among a group of fans.
The boy's face was waxy and there were deep dark circles, which was out of place compared with the other fans who were grooming nicely. Although his physique did not look very good, the boy's face was still radiant, especially the eyes were bright, the arc at the corners of his mouth showing he was in a good mood.
Although standing at the back of the line and trying to stretch his neck up to look for his idol, Wu Lu did not think of coming up to the front of the line. He just wanted to look at Yu Bai from a distance, and he did not want his idol to see his untidy self.
Sheng Xing Ze quietly took a photo and sent it to Wu You. After receiving her affirmative reply, Sheng Xing Ze sent a long chain of emojicon to reassure her, then put the phone back in his pocket as if to pretend that nothing had happened.
"Excuse me, are you Sheng Xing Ze?" A little girl who looks like a fan had crouched beside Sheng Xing Ze since god knows when, her bright eyes looked at him expectantly.
Sheng Xing Ze nodded admitting, stood up and gently pulled the girl up from the ground.
The little girl took a glance over the other fans to check if they noticed she had gone, and took out a delicate little book from her bag and handed it to Sheng Xing Ze.
"I'm President Bai's and your CP fan, please do your best, I really like you."
Sheng Xing Ze asked for the girl's name, and carefully wrote a short message before returning the notebook to the girl.
The little girl looked down happily when she read the message, then she heard a gentle voice speaking from above, "Don't be this reckless in the future, not every star will like to be CP with other people."
The little girl only realized what she had done, she raised her head and wanted to say something to Sheng Xing Ze.
"Brother Yu is here, you should hurry back."
Hearing that his fans were coming earlier than scheduled, Yu Bai did not let the hairstylist style his hair, instead he just washed his face and rushed to the set early.
Seeing their idol, the fans made wave after wave of cheerings; Yu Bai made a quiet gesture, the fan immediately calmed down, screaming silently with their mouths covered while fanatic emotions vivid in their eyes.
Yu Bai waved towards them, his face showing a decent smile, and as expected he heard a low inhalation from fans.
There were not many fans who came to the set, Yu Bai easily spotted Wu Lu at a glance. When the child stared at him, Yu Bai smiled slightly at him.
Wu Lu looked around, seeing Yu Bai still looking at his direction, his fingers trembled and pointed to himself.
Yu Bai nodded toward him, did not exert much pressure on Wu Lu, and quickly shifted his attention.
The fans were taken to the base camp to take a group photo of the crew and some behind-the-scenes footage. Yu Bai had made some conversations with them before heading out to change clothes and to put on makeup.
When he got out of the base camp, he saw Wu You standing not so far away and looked inside, but she did not dare to move forward. She only tried to look at Wu Lu when the door got opened and closed occasionally.
"Looking for your Wu Lu is inside?" he walked over to ask.
Wu You did not expect Yu Bai would take the initiative to talk to her, so she nodded in surprise, but then realized nodding seemed to be disrespectful to the other, so she added "Yes".
He tried to find the right words to comfort Wu You, then thought that this behavior was not something he would do; however, seeing that Sheng Xing Ze seemed to be very concerned about this matter, he felt that he should show some concern as his senior.
After constructing the words in his mind, he slowly spoke.
"Don't worry, Sheng Xing Ze will persuade him."
Wu You nodded sternly, glanced at Wu Lu's direction reluctantly, and quickly ran back to her post.
The fans visiting the set went very smoothly. After taking the group photo, Yu Bai left first, and the staff led the group to tour the set. Wu Lu still walked along with the group, he kept his head down as he was not interested.
Sheng Xing Ze took the opportunity to join the group and walked beside Wu Lu. Earlier he instructed Wu You to go wait at the cafe not far from the set, now his only task was to take the boy there as well.
Seeing Sheng Xing Ze walk toward him, Wu Lu's first reaction was to avoid the other man. He always felt that his plain self was not compatible with all the bright and beautiful things here. If it were not for his idol, especially when his name was luckily drawn to participate in this event today, he would never appear in front of the crowd in this state.
"Why are you hiding, not like I'll eat you." Sheng Xing Ze drew his lips into a smile, the right smile matching with his already innocent and harmless face, and he was able to narrow the distance between them.
Wu Lu was looking at his Weibo, the recent CP momentum of Sheng Xing Ze and Yu Bai attracting a lot of attention, and even a lot of Yu fans know about this newcomer named Sheng Xing Ze.
"Do you want to see Yu Bai alone?" Sheng Xing Ze came up and proposed a very tempting bait.
Wu Lu was only fifteen or sixteen years old at most, the boy was still a teenager, his thinking was not yet fully mature. Upon hearing this sentence, the boy obviously got tempted.
But he was not that stupid yet, he shook his head politely at Sheng Xing Ze.
Under the guidance of Sheng Xing Ze's deliberate slowdown pace, the two gradually widened their distance from the group. Sheng Xing Ze dialed Yu Bai's phone and even put it on speaker.
"Why haven't you come yet?"
As Yu Bai's die-hard fan, Wu Lu obviously was very familiar with his idol's voice. Hearing his idol's voice coming out from the phone, his last line of defense collapsed immediately.
"I'm also bringing your little fan over." Yu Bai had known about this, obviously Sheng Xing Ze talked over it with him.
Yu Bai pretended to hesitate before agreeing, "It's cold outside, hurry and bring the person here."
Sheng Xing Ze hung up the call and looked sideways at Wu Lu. Out of his love for his idol, Wu Lu bit down his lip and followed Sheng Xing Ze to the cafe.
It was very quiet in the cafe; even though it was located right next to the film and television city, they usually received take-out orders. There were not many people who liked to sit in and to enjoy their coffee.
Yu Bai sat at a booth with a high separation screen, this position was set so cleverly that it can completely block the party sitting at the booth when someone walked into the cafe. The cafe was quite familiar with some celebrities liking their privacy, with such clever design they received unanimous praise.
Wu You was sitting in the booth behind him, this position allowed her to hear her brother's voice and she would not be seen by him.
This was the first time Wu Lu came here, he did not know about the hidden setup of this cafe. In addition, his eyes had been completely glued on Yu Bai, so he did not pay any attention to anything else.
"I didn't lie to you."
Sheng Xing Ze walked in with Wu Lu, and he immediately spotted Yu Bai, who was apparently posing and trying to impress his fan. He whispered a "wicked" in his mind, he walked forward with Wu Lu and arranged the boy to sit down on the seats in front of Yu Bai.
Seeing that Yu Bai looked at them, Sheng Xing Ze proudly raised his chin in an angle that could not be seen by Wu Lu, like a kitten who was asking for praise. Such proud behavior caused Yu Bai's heart to be tickled, he slightly curved up the corners of his lips.
